Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between James Gatzby (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Adolf Bin Laden (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gatzby's entrance music is Gatsby's American Dream - Theatre. A fine choice. Adolf Bin Laden told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
